Uncle uses AI to edit wedding pictures, loses the originals, and leaves the newlyweds with artificial‑looking images instead of memories: ‘The groom's face didn't even look like him anymore’

If this story weren't so funny, it would be sad. The happy couple doesn't have real wedding photos anymore, but what they do have is an eternal cautionary tale. Generations from now, someone will open that wedding album and wonder why every woman looks like a 2026 Instagram model, and every guy has the exact same jawline.  

This is what happens when one overconfident uncle meets artificial intelligence and a little too much free time. He promised professional photos but delivered a collection of digital clones that look more ready to sell skincare than celebrate matrimony. No one's face looks quite right. Everyone's skin is airbrushed into oblivion. It's less a wedding and more a press release for AI's ego problem.  

The tragic twist is that he deleted the originals. Gone forever. Obliterated in the name of "fixing bad lighting." Only an uncle could have that level of confidence, the kind that treats irreversible decisions like light touch-ups. He didn't improve the photos, oh no, he permanently deleted everyone's pores.  

We all know a version of this guy, someone who's like this, and for a reason I cannot comprehend, Uncle is almost always their favorite title. The tech enthusiast who doesn't understand the tools but loves telling everyone he does. The kind who watches one YouTube tutorial and starts thinking of himself as a visionary. He probably uploaded the results proudly, not realizing he'd turned the bride and groom into two slightly melting Sims.
